Best for managed mailboxes for cold email
ScaledMail sells cold email mailboxes with the domains and DNS set up for you. It sends nothing itself, and each mailbox is limited to 25 emails a day on Google or 10 on Outlook and SMTP.
Who ScaledMail is for
- Fits if you already have a sequencer and need mailboxes for it
- Works for agencies that want infrastructure set up for them
Who ScaledMail is not for
- Skip it if you want to try it first, as there is no trial and no free plan
- Not for you if you want to send campaigns from it, since it only supplies mailboxes
- Tight if you send much, because each mailbox is capped at 25 emails a day on Google and 10 on Outlook and SMTP
- Pricey if you want reporting, as it adds $2 a mailbox a month and turns the page's 2,000-a-day example from $397.75 into $653.75
Why ScaledMail gets a 1.6
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- CValue for money$3.50 a mailbox a month on Google Workspace, so ten mailboxes cost $35, around the category's middle. Outlook is $50 a domain.
- FFree plan and trialNo free plan and no trial is listed, so you pay before you try it.
- DFeaturesMailboxes, domains, DNS, IP rotation and monitoring. It needs a separate sequencer to send or warm up anything.
- CEase of useNo store rating on record. Domains, DNS and your sequencer have to be connected, even with the setup handled.
- BPlatforms and integrationsWeb dashboard and a Slack support channel, working with Smartlead, Instantly, EmailBison, Apollo, lemlist and PlusVibe.

Keep ScaledMail, or make your own?
You could make this
What ScaledMail does at its core is plain work, and that is the kind of thing an AI app builder makes well.
You would give up 2 things, listed below, and little else. It costs $42 a year. An AI app builder starts at about $20 a month on our listings, and you only need it while you build.
What you could make
- It runs in a browser, which is where something home-made would run too.
What you could not
- Reading the reports inbox providers send about your domain.
- It plugs into other products, Smartlead, Instantly and EmailBison among them, and has an API.
What this rests on. ScaledMail’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
What is ScaledMail?
ScaledMail sets up and manages the sending infrastructure for cold email: domains, Google Workspace, Microsoft Outlook and SMTP mailboxes, SPF, DKIM and DMARC records, and IP rotation. It is not a sequencer; the mailboxes connect to tools such as Smartlead, Instantly and EmailBison, where warm-up and sending run. Packages are built from a sending volume and billed monthly per mailbox or domain.
Worth knowing
- It provides infrastructure only: warm-up and sending run in your sequencer, such as Smartlead, Instantly, EmailBison or PlusVibe.
- The listed mailbox limits are 25 emails a day on Google Workspace and 10 on Outlook and SMTP.
- The page's 2,000-emails-a-day example comes to $397.75 a month before reporting, $256 more with it on every account.
- Billing is monthly with no long-term contract; the volume can be adjusted.
Key features
- Managed mailboxes
- Google Workspace, Microsoft Outlook and SMTP mailboxes are created for you, and the three types can be mixed in one package.

- Every package includes IP rotation and ongoing reputation and deliverability monitoring.
- Volume calculator

- Dedicated Slack support
- Each package includes a dedicated Slack support channel, and setup is listed as taking 24 to 72 hours.
